Tutor Pearce, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

Tutor Yarralumla, ACT
I consider the transference of inspiration to the student to be the most important and fulfilling thing a tutor can achieve. From inspiration births a work ethic, an attitude and an independence within the student that carries through their whole life. I believe that as an individual, you are your own CEO, CMO, CFO etc. As such, by teaching the…

Tutor Acton, ACT
Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Tutor Red Hill, ACT
The most important thing is to prepare fully for each lesson. I believe that both the student's and the tutor's time are precious. If a session is not well planned and structured, students are likely to walk away confused but unlikely to seek further clarification. Although the teacher might have saved planning time, they have restrained students…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

Inside LyonsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom worked on addition and subtraction of fractions, as well as converting between proper and improper fractions using visual examples.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on graphing and manipulating parabolas along with factorising and expanding quadratics to strengthen her algebraic fluency.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled trigonometric identities through targeted exercises and also reviewed the unit circle and trig functions for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student faced time management issues during exams, often spending too long on challenging questions and leaving easier ones unfinished. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions that she felt less confident in."

In Year 9 algebra, a reluctance to show working made it hard to pinpoint errors—steps were skipped or left out entirely.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student regularly forgot previous lesson content without extra revision at home; this meant re-learning basics instead of progressing.

During financial maths in Year 11, not writing all unknowns before solving made marking and self-checking difficult, slowing feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Lyons tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to rearrange formulas now confidently tackles unfamiliar arithmetic and geometric progression questions on her own, even solving for unknowns without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who was initially confused by translations in coordinate geometry quickly shifted gears—after one clear explanation, he independently worked through new problems with no extra help.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who often avoided tricky long division now volunteers to attempt these problems first during sessions and recently scored 97% on a multiplication tables quiz.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lyons Early Childhood School.
